Brown scored at 9:16, beating Mrazek on a tip off Nate Thompson’s pass from the corner.

Killorn added an empty-net goal.

Detroit’s Johan Franzen went to the dressing room after taking a glove to the face from Tampa Bay’s Radko Gudas early in the second period and did not return. When Franzen got back to the bench he yelled at Gudas as he skated by the Wings’ bench and Franzen received an unsportsmanlike penalty 4:35 into the middle period. Todd Bertuzzi served the penalty.

The Red Wings’ Pavel Datsyuk hit the goal post with 6:08 remaining in the opening period. The Lightning’s Purcell hit the goal post 7:12 into the game.
